34,000 square feet inside an 1892 River North landmark, at Tao!
Tao occupies 34,000 square feet inside a historic 1892 building in River North, and it runs as two venues stacked on top of each other. The upstairs dining room is the restaurant; the lower level turns into a nightclub once dinner service winds down.
Upstairs, velvet banquettes and ambient lighting sit beneath a towering 16-foot Quan Yin statue and intricate Asian artwork, the setting for leisurely Pan-Asian dining under Executive Chef Andrew Graves. Below, a 7,000-square-foot nightclub anchored by a massive Japanese bell fills with top DJs after the kitchen closes.
The menu is built around showstopper shareable plates: Peking Duck at $98, Spicy Tuna Tartare on Crispy Rice at $22, and Miso-Glazed Chilean Sea Bass at $49, alongside sushi and teppanyaki. Sunday Brunch at $65 per person dra
